Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This impressive application strikes the right note, allowing you to see and hear guitar chords and improve your playing skills in the process. Select a chord from a drop-down list or click the virtual strings to quickly create your own chord. D'Accord Guitar Chord Dictionary is easy to use and sports an eye-catching interface that shows fingering, notes or intervals of chords on the virtual fretboard. Hear the chord with a click of the Play button; the feature works through the sound card, which the program tests during set-up. Take chords up or down a half step with the application's handy lyric tools. The sole disappointments are an overly simplistic printing output and a limited 10-use trial. Anyone learning guitar or writing songs for guitar will find D'Accord Guitar Chord Dictionary a top-of-the-line application.Publisher's description

The scales module offers thousands of different scales that you can play and practice in any tone. For each scale the software presents the correct fingering and notation. The Chord Dictionary is suitable to any 4, 5 and 6 stringed instrument. A comprehensive list of pre-configured instruments is included, but guitarists can create their own tunings/instruments.

Version: D'Accord Guitar Chord Dictionary 3.0
Summary: Ever wonder what the name of that chord is? Enter the shape and get an identification. I've been looking for this for a long time but none of the others measured up for ease of use and accuracy. I finally know the names of those partial chords.

"Simple to use with multiple fingering options for many chords - great reference!"
Pros: It was simple to use and clear to understand. I especially liked the variety of fingerings for each chord rather than just one standard fingering. I hadn't played for some time and forgot some of the more unusual chords. This made re-learning easy and I can print the results for future reference. Great program.
Cons: The first time I opened the program it showed an acoustic guitar fretboard. I clicked on electric guitar just to see what would change and it has never gone back no matter what I try. It changes from right to left and every other option but it has completely lost the acoustic guitar fretboard.

Version: D'Accord Guitar Chord Dictionary 3.0
"okay, but 10-use to try it out"
Pros: Nice software but product does not give enough time to make a decision. Good design and easy to navigate
Cons: 10-uses before trial expires. Come on. How about 30 days. I don't have hours to sit and evaluate all the features; therefore, I have to try it and come back later. Already used 2 of 10 allowed uses in 30 minutes. If you insist on 10 uses only then how about a 30 day unconditional money back guarantee in writing if I don't like the software.
